Hand carved ostrich egg made by me. This was a gift for my Daughter she loves fairies. I was inspired by one of her tattoos.

I knew Ostrich eggs were supposed to be thick and strong but until I saw Hand carved ostrich egg by ~joechas I had no idea they could be carved and shaped like this. I have never seen work done like this before and love the careful attention and planning that have gone into this delicate and detailed piece of work, especially when you consider that one slip of the hand could ruin the entire piece.

This is an absolutely beautiful piece. You certainly have a gift! Look into Emu eggs, they have a very distinct forest green color on the outside. Amazing work, though! I am going to look for some more!!
